Hi,
I have a wifi, fpv drone with a 720p camera and would like to upgrade the camera. Is there any thing I can do that only requires me to plug it in as i dont want to have to do anything more complicated as l'm new to quads.

Thanks
Conor

I'm guessing by the description that it's maybe one of the new selfie drones like the Eachine E58, which is why I said probably not

Perhaps, but it could really be just about anything ... lol ... might be just a plug and play swap, might be impossible

The short answer is NOPE.

That is a cheap Chinese knock-off of the DJI Mavick with brushed motors and a single cell 900 mAh battery.
You can only expect about 30 meters control and FPV range (40 max) since it's a low powered wifi system.
The camera may transmit 720 (the lowest "HD"), but it only records in VGA (640x480@15fps).
In order to upgrade you'd likely need to "hack" that bird and tie into the main board (if the VTX could even handle higher resolutions).
My advise would be to just keep what you've got BUT definitely perform the antenna mods and anti-jello mods found on YouTube. ;)

There ARE other ways to add cams (to just about anything) but doing so would cost about as much as that whole quad did.
